--- Comment #33 from Tarulia <[email protected]> ---
Oh right they are supposed to be parallel-installable for the stable-unstable
cycle?

In that case there's arguably even more reason to group them, no?

With the current setup it would be possible to install the 3.4 devel packages
and the 3.2 devel package, giving 3 choices for `wx-config` and 2 for `wxrc`:

```
$ dnf list --installed wxGTK3.4-devel wxQt3.4-devel wxBase-devel
Installed packages (available for reinstall, available for upgrade)
wxBase-devel.x86_64   3.2.9-2.fc44 fedora
wxGTK3.4-devel.x86_64 3.3.3-1.fc44 @commandline
wxQt3.4-devel.x86_64  3.3.3-1.fc44 @commandline

$ alternatives --config wx-config

There are 3 programs which provide 'wx-config'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/lib64/wx/config/gtk3-unicode-3.3
   2           /usr/lib64/wx/config/qt-unicode-3.3
   3           /usr/libexec/wxGTK/wx-config

$ alternatives --config wxrc

There are 2 programs which provide 'wxrc'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/libexec/wxWidgets/wxrc
   2           /usr/libexec/wxGTK/wxrc
```

However, because they are not linked, it would easily be possible for users to
end up with any combination of the 5. For example `wx-config` from wxQt3.4 and
`wxrc` from wxBase3.2, or `wx-config` from wxGTK3.2 with `wxrc` from 3.4. I
don't imagine that would go very well.

I'm by no means an expert on `alternatives` (I finally found out today how to
actually choose one …), but I believe that is what the `--follower` options are
for? I don't think it makes sense for them to be chosen individually.
